The Caldera is ZMF Headphones’ open-back, over-ear planar magnetic headphone and its first proprietary planar model. It uses an 80 mm driver with ZMF’s Caldera Asymmetrical Magnet Structure (CAMS) and Atrium Damping System. The headphone is offered in different wood and chassis configurations, so its weight and finish vary. The manufacturer lists a lifetime driver warranty.
